cnotmuch -- The python interface to notmuch.so
==============================================

This module makes the functionality of the notmuch library
(`http://notmuchmail.org`_) available to python. Successful import of
this modul depends on a libnotmuch.so|dll being available on the
user's system.

If you have downloaded the full source tarball, you can create the
documentation with sphinx installed, go to the docs directory and
"make html". A static version of the documentation is available at:

`http://spaetz.bitbucket.org`_

The current source code is being hosted at
http://bitbucket.org/spaetz/cnotmuch which also provides an issue
tracker, and release downloads. This package is tracked by the python
package index repository at `http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cnotmuch`_ and can thus be installed on a user's computer easily via "sudo easy_install cnotmuch" (you will still need to install the notmuch shared library separately as it is not included in this package).

The original source has been provided by (c)Sebastian Spaeth, 2010.
All code is available under the GNU GPLv3+ (see docs/COPYING) unless specified otherwise.


Usage
-----
For more examples of how to use the cnotmuch interface, have a look at the
notmuch "binary" and the generated documentation.

Example session:
>>>from cnotmuch import notmuch
>>>db = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mail")
db.get_path()
'/home/spaetz/mail'
>>>tags = db.get_all_tags()
>>>for tag in tags: 
>>>  print tag
inbox
...
maildir::draft
#---------------------------------------------

q = notmuch.Query(db,'from:Sebastian')
count = len(q.search_messages())
1300

#---------------------------------------------

>>>db = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mailHAHA")
NotmuchError: Could not open the specified database

#---------------------------------------------

>>>tags = notmuch.Database("/home/spaetz/mail").get_all_tags()
>>>del(tags)
